An important item for Dexter, is the fact

A correspondent to the Commercial writes
1t should not he understood that the re-

Dexter of all its facilities in this line of bust
ness. Messrs. Fay & Scott have a splendid
cachne shop and foundry. the motive power
Tor which is furnished by a relisble water
privilege. They own this property atavery
reasonable figure, and though thew have in
the past been DONG thriving business, ana
sending the machines Of their manufacture TO
all parts of the country and establishing an
excellent reputation for reliable work, they
vet have room to greatly enlarge their
operations whenever the state of business
calls fof it Both the proprietors are practical
men, and permit no piece Of work to leave
their shop which is no, perfect. There is the
best Of feeling between them and the ctiz ne
Of the town generally, and they have
evidently brilliant business future before
them.
